Good Points

The twist of a classic horror genre,
Action Sequences,
No typical blonde defenseless white girl running up the stairs scenario

Bad Points

only two of four people are made to be likeable from the beginning, and not talking about the Selene and Jim.

General Comments

This movie, in my opinion, is a typical zombie movie. The only difference is this one takes place in both day/night and takes multiple days and the average flick of this genre takes place usually in one night.


As for the acting it starts off a bit slow but after about 10-15 when the story is set up and the virus situation is explaned, dialogue becomes dramatically better.


The action sequences are spaced out evenly along side the "stress-relief" scenes as not to be high tension all along the way. Every time one of these zombie attack scenes comes up I(a veteran horror movie fan) cringed a bit at some of the primalistic actions both the people and the zombie take on. This part of the movie is guaranteed to keep you enticed if you came to theatres based on the trailers. Also the part in every action/horror movie where the main character Jim gets fed up and opens up a can of you know what, the excitement level rockets through the roof.


The most important part of the movie is the ending. It was handled in a "believable"( a word I use loosely in this genre) manner and you can understand how they are and what they plan to do when the movie cuts off.


In the overall quality of this movie I am satisfied and my high hopes were not crushed at all but were risen even higher. This is a must see movie and possibley even a must by if/when it goes to DVD
